Coach without the per-client tax.
Most coaching platforms charge $40 a month and climb as you add clients. RubanasFit starts free for 1 client, then steps in seats — 5 for $10, 15 for $25, 30 for $35 — with Gym at $50/mo, delivered where your clients already are: Telegram.

Why seat tiers matter
Your costs don't punish growth
Per-client pricing means every new client makes your software bill go up. Seat tiers mean your margin grows within a tier — you are not billed for every new person until you step up.
Nothing for clients to install
Workouts, nutrition, reminders, and streaks all land in Telegram — an app your clients already use every day. No downloads, no logins, no "how do I open the app again?"
Human plans, not generated ones
Every program is built by you. We don't auto-generate plans. Clients can tell the difference, and so can their results.
Questions trainers ask
Is RubanasFit really cheaper than Trainerize or TrueCoach?
Often yes. RubanasFit starts free for 1 client, then steps in seats — 5 for $10, 15 for $25, 30 for $35 a month. Gym is $50/mo. Most established platforms start around $40/month and scale up as you add clients. Seat tiers mean you are not billed for every new person inside your tier.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Clients receive their workouts, nutrition plans, and reminders inside Telegram, an app most people already have. There is nothing new for them to install, log into, or learn.
Are the workout and nutrition plans AI-generated?
Never. Every program and meal plan on RubanasFit is built by a human trainer. We do not generate plans with AI.
Can I switch from another platform?
Yes. You rebuild your exercise library and programs once inside the trainer dashboard, then invite your clients with a link. Because clients use Telegram, onboarding them is usually faster than a traditional app.
